Bahrain Lauded as Global Model for Peace and Tolerance
Bahrain's Foreign Minister and Chairman of the National Human Rights Committee, Dr. Abdullatif bin Rashid Al-Zayani, has praised the Kingdom as a pioneering global model in promoting humanitarian values and peaceful coexistence among religions, cultures, and civilizations. Speaking on the occasion of the International Day of Conscience—established by the United Nations on Bahrain's initiative and observed annually on April 5—Dr. Al-Zayani highlighted Bahrain's steadfast commitment to a visionary humanitarian approach inspired by His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and supported by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Prime Minister. In his remarks, Dr. Al-Zayani expressed pride in Bahrain's leading role, which is deeply rooted in its rich historical heritage and noble human and civilizational values. He emphasized the nation's tireless efforts in fostering peace, tolerance, and the rejection of fanaticism and hatred, all aimed at building a sustainable world marked by respect, justice, harmony, and solidarity. These initiatives include the promotion of a culture of peace, conflict prevention through dialogue and negotiation, the organization of global forums for interfaith and intercultural dialogue, and the launch of significant awards such as the 'King Hamad Award for Coexistence and Tolerance.' Additional accolades recognize contributions in areas supporting women, youth, education, and humanitarian service. The Kingdom has also embraced the 'Bahrain Summit' for royal initiatives, which calls for an international conference on peace, the provision of essential health and educational services to those affected by conflicts, and cooperation in digital innovation and transformation. Moreover, the United Nations has endorsed the King Hamad Global Center for Coexistence and Tolerance's initiative to designate an 'International Day of Peaceful Coexistence.' Looking ahead, Dr. Al-Zayani reaffirmed Bahrain's commitment to playing an active role on the international stage. As the Kingdom currently chairs the Arab League's Council of Arab Universities and seeks a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council for the 2026-2027 term, Bahrain remains dedicated to strengthening global peace and security, fostering tolerance and solidarity, and upholding religious and cultural diversity. These efforts are part of the National Human Rights Plan (2022-2026), which aligns with international charters and the Sustainable Development Goals for 2030.

Ministry of Justice, Islamic Affairs, and Endowments Launches Remote Notarization Service
The Ministry of Justice, Islamic Affairs, and Endowments, in collaboration with the Information and eGovernment Authority, has officially launched the Remote Notarization Service. The service will be offered by private notaries within the Kingdom of Bahrain, facilitating digital document certification. Dana Khamees Al-Zayani, the Undersecretary for Courts, Family Reconciliation, and Alimony at the Ministry of Justice, announced the launch of this service. The remote notarization service is available on the official website where individuals can access it. Initially, the service will be optional and gradually rolled out, covering specific types of transactions in its first phase. Al-Zayani encouraged individuals interested in using the remote notarization service to register through the Government Notification System (Notices), available via the National Portal and to update their details whenever changes occur. Contact addresses registered on this platform will be required for login to the service. The Undersecretary emphasized the Ministry's commitment to enhancing digital transformation, offering more flexible options to meet the needs of various sectors, including the community, business owners, and investors. This initiative is expected to save time and effort while streamlining the notarization and certification processes. Regarding the benefits of the new service, Al-Zayani explained that it eliminates the need for in-person attendance and paper-based transactions. The service will rely on securely stored digital transactions encrypted in Blockchain format, ensuring protection against fraud and allowing for electronic exchange between official entities, with no possibility of modification once approved. The service will also enable the use of electronic signatures via a One-Time Password (OTP), eliminating the need for handwritten signatures. It will allow users to inquire about their notarization transactions and provides an option to cancel them when necessary. Al-Zayani further noted that the introduction of this service would expand the role of the private sector in offering notarization services, while the Ministry will continue to oversee and regulate transactions completed by licensed private notaries.
